1. use the RPM software package to install

When talking about RPM (REDHAT Package Management) standard software packages, everyone may think of the well-known REDHAT company. it is precisely the release method of RPM software packages that makes the installation of application software in Linux easy, if you want to install software released in RPM Mode, simply enter the command "rpm-ivh xxx. rpm.

For example, if you want to install the OpenOffice.org-1.0.1.rpm package, you only need to enter the command "rpm-ivh OpenOffice.org-1.0.1.rpm. Another advantage of the RPM Package release method is that it can easily delete installed RPM packages, run the "rpm-e OpenOffice.org-1.0.1" command to safely and permanently delete the installed OpenOffice.org-1.0.1.rpm from the hard disk. If you install/delete software in the X-Window environment, there is a better solution. if you use KDE, you can use the Kpackage program that comes with KDE to add or delete the software. if you use GNOME, you can use the Gnorpm program to manage the software. Both programs are similar to the "add/delete programs" function in Microsoft Windows. The software released using RPM software packages is the easiest to install and manage. we recommend that you use this mode to manage the software in the future.

2.Tar.gz (Tgz) software package installation

A software package with the extension tar.gz is a package packaged with the Tar program and compressed with the Gzip program. to install this software package, decompress the software package first, you can use tar-zxfv filename.tar.gz to decompress the package. the decompressed file is in the directory named Filename, and you can see the decompressed file.

Various software have different installation methods, but generally each software package has an Install and Readme file after being decompressed. the help file provides detailed installation instructions. A disadvantage of software released using the tar.gz (or Tgz) package is that there is generally no anti-installation program. if you need to delete the installed software, you have to carefully check the installation path and file name in Makefile, which is difficult for beginners.
